The Puddle Jumper is a con-caved, planing surfacer speeder. Domestic bliss with a twist. Based off the outline of the Bottom Feeder, but with reversed bottom and rocker curves. This board, unlike the past Domestic models (like The Bottom Feeder and RV) features a concave bottom that transitions to vee in the tail. The wide outline makes for easy wave catching and down the line glide and stability. The concave bottom adds lift and increased rail curve, which allows radical top to bottom surfing. The straight rail line and vee in the tail keep the board moving forward and hold in during hard carving maneuvers.

This one comes from personal experience. Back to Fall 2012. Matt Biolos had been surfing The LazyBoy and Couch Potato as a one/two punch around home all summer. As the winter swells started lining up, he soon realized that these boards were not going to cut it, unless he wanted to spend his winter surfing between swells and in shadow blocked SC. So, starting with his trusty 6’0 LazyBoy, he stretched it to 6’2”, pulled in the width a bit, added a little more bend through the length of the board (with some flip tip for steeps and late drops) and finally…most noticeably, a re-templated rear half of the board into a conservative, surface area reducing, rounded pin tail.

Lost's latest high performance hybrid. In the tradition of the Rocket and its many knock offs, the Shortround bridges the gap between easy riding “cheater” boards and the HP Shortboard. Tested all around Southern California in the summer of 2014, this board has more than impressed. The buzz about it is spreading fast. The speed comes from a low entry rocker and wide-ish nose, with a forward wide point and generous concave throughout. The performance comes from a moderate, but not flipped up, tail rocker, a double concave through the fins and the same sort of modern bump squash tail that you would find on a typical contest style, small wave HP shortboard. All combined, it doesn’t look like anything fancy and there are no gimmicks, but some times less is more, and there is a lot packed into this little board.

This Lost Bean Bag surfboard is the extreme in small wave surfing. This surfboard is super wide and flat but can be surfed from the tail and rail to rail without sliding out on you. This surfboard is designed to be ridden extremely short.

The step up board from the Metro-TT also has also had a major design evolution. Now a 1/4″vee in the nose deflects chop and decreases wind lift in large conditions. There is also more thickness under the chest, with a flat deck and a chined rail, meaning the board feels thinner under your arm but has hidden volume under the chest. Concave sits at 3/8” graduating to a 1/2″ vee off the tail for more grip and a rail line flip behind the fins which releases at high speeds. The board happily handles from head high to as big as you can catch.

Based on the tow series evolution. The design has a deep concave that is punctuated by a sharp rail which in historical terms would have created a board that would go really fast in a straight line. The Protow ushers in a new era of speed and carve surfing with a rail that won’t let go even in the most critical bottom turn scenario.

The Protow pairs perfectly with the metro as the MC 2 board quiver. Width and volume in the right places create a board that quite often floats better than a conventional board 3 or 4 inches longer and facilitates tighter stronger turns with considerably less effort. This board will have you paddling over the grommets but will impress with its performance steep and deep.

Short n wide…with tons of glide. The “V2-Grinder” is a V2-SB squished into a stubby, squatty little firecracker. First built for a few of Matt Biolos “Domestic” buddies whose surfing can be described as “ former pro level, now grown up, with kids and a job, surfing crappy beach breaks with my kids…whenever I get a chance”. Pleasantly surprised by rave reviews from the older, local heroes, we placed a few under the feet of some WCT and QS “Grinders”. Ends up, the board is a superb small wave contest machine. With the likes of Carissa Moore and other world class competitors using them in lackluster conditions to great success, we included it in the line. To the V2s distinctive low entry and noticeable tail lift, we married an outline that resembles the classic Sub Scorcher. The wide tail block provides drive, lift and a stable platform in meager conditions. The short rail line and healthy amount of tail lift (paired with full and forgiving rails) still permeate the water and allow proper rail turns in small, tight, quirky shore pound. Don’t be afraid to go Short n fat with this one!

A best seller for 10 years, this mini-longboard bridges the gap between the more performance oriented M-13 hybrid model and our longboard line. Low entry rocker for trimming and enough tail rocker to stay high performance. Bottom goes from flat entry with concave, to vee out the tail.

The Fish Quatro opens up the performance window of the traditional fish while keeping the basic fish values, speed and floatation intact. Combining a full rail and outline, with a single to double concave bottom with V off the tail gives this board more skate, flow, vertical performance, and tighter arcs than any fish. This unique model is also available with a concave deck that more than makes up for the decreased width. Every quiver needs a Fish!

2014′s break out shortboard hit proved to be as equally embraced from the mini grom rads… to the Domesticated dads. Essentially hatching from the V2-Rocket. Its low entry rocker, coupled with a healthy amount of tail rocker, makes for a quick start and front foot drive, with snappy, precise rear footed turning. The curvaceous outline and smallish tail block hide a deceptively wide tail at 12”. This allows for a fast and stable board that still ”pushes back” but also fits well into tight hooks if asked. Immediately embraced by many WT and WQS surfers, big results and event wins started piling up. At the same time, once we started selling the beefed up “Domesticated” version, that Matt Biolos friends and himself were riding, it quickly built a following coast to coast.

The Rusty Rooster surfboard came about because of a “what if “conversation with some of the team. It was loosely based on the Hustler. Rusty changed the outline, rocker and venturi configuration, so that the board would fit better in rounder waves but still retain its performance in everyday surf. P.S. it was named after an enormous Jersey Giant Rooster who claims every morning…. loudly!!!!

The Rusty Fish Quatro opens up the performance window of the traditional fish while keeping the basic fish values, speed and floatation intact. Combining a full rail and outline, with a single to double concave bottom with V off the tail gives this board more skate, flow, vertical performance, and tighter arcs than any fish. This unique model is also available with a concave deck that more than makes up for the decreased width. Every quiver needs a Fish!

This Rusty surfboard is what William Cardoso , aka Panda , rides in competition. Panda is a heavy surfer , 200 lbs , yet very powerful , throws buckets of water on every turn. He needs something to float him but still be a high performance surfboard. Good amount of rocker combined with a expressive single concave plus a kick in the last 3 inches of the tail; All that combined enable William to go vertical in tight arcs. The board has a curvy outline , a pronounced bump and a not so wide squash. The rails are tapered to sink in the water for powerful turns, keeping the thickness at the center with an accentuated dome deck. For waves waist high to double overhead.

Noa Deane's latest the "Sista Brotha" is developed from his free-surfing travels. This performance shortboard excels in conditions from beach breaks to point breaks. The Sista Brotha features, a single to a double concave, moderate entry rocker and a low tail rocker with a fuller rail, making this lovely board that allows Noa to execute his arsenal of maneuvers without thinking twice...Sista Brotha from Noa Deane

Over the last six years and hundreds of stops on our demo tour we have learned a few things. One of those is that surfers sometimes want something simple, fun, and easy to ride.
Light single concave for the first 1/3 to deepening concave vee throughout. The Joe can be surfed off the rail or tail that has Al’s signature hip tail template to keep drive. Full rails keep high volume in a short outline.

Increase wave count, make more sections. The average Joe is geared towards the things that makes surfing fun.

Channel Islands first and foremost is performance based and athlete driven, but not everyone’s next paycheck hinges on how critical their equipment works.

From gliding and tip riding, to surfing in powerful conditions, the requirement for a modern longboard is versatility. Our design delivers, covering all terrain. From young to old, new school through traditional styles, first wave rides to decades of experience.

With low entry rocker and full outline you’ll find a board that glides in the small stuff and can be ridden from the front. Progressive surfers will find a quick midsection, slightly pulled tail, with enough release to keep the board fast and loose. 2+1 fin set up.

The Zeus is an excellent performance shortboard. The bottom contours are very light single entry, to double concave through the fins, to concave vee exit.
The Zeus can be ridden as a squash, swallow or round pin in waves from waist to ceiling high.

Lost took the V3-Rocket, and replaced the Rocket tail with a smooth little squash tail. At the same, looking for more down the line projection, they relaxed the rocker through the center of the board. The rocker in the nose/tail is still curvy and fits into tight sections.

Tested all around Southern California in the summer of 2014, this board has more than impressed. The buzz about it is spreading fast.

A stretched out R.V. Double Bump to Round tail. Works for the guy who loved the RV, but wants to ride similar design in better or medium to larger waves. The double bump Rnd tail maintains speed like a wider tail template, but holds in and can be positioned in more critical parts of waves

Love Buzz is a performance shortboard, described as the ‘Love Child’ of the Hypto Krypto and The Ando model. The design blends surface area, rocker and performance curves to create a very all-round, fast and flowing short board. It will always carry speed yet give you that sensitivity to surf in all areas of the wave.

This 7'6 M13 surfboard is a performance hybrid that caters to the widest possible type and size of surfer and the widest range of wave conditions. Not to be confused with a funshape type board. Paddles like a funshape, but surfs like a shortboard.

The Lost V2 Domesticated Shortboard surfboard is a great performance shortboard with a little more volume. This is great for smaller conditions or for the surfer that wants a full volume everyday shortboard.

The Lost Sub Scorcher 2 surfboard is a fresh twist on the extremely popular Sub Scorcher model. The Vee bottom was removed from the last 6" of the tail which increases the rocker by about a 1/4" still keeping the rail line static. As a result the board surfs looser for better vertical and pocket surfing. To keep the board fast with lots of drive, Lost straightened the outline in the tail by adding the double wing swallow tail. This is a great everyman's daily average wave shortboard.

This Lost Driver surfboard is a great all around high performance surfboard that isn't impossible to hop back on after riding your fish for a month in junk surf. This is a great surfboard for 2' mush surf and 6' macking waves. This board is designed to be ridden close to normal shortboard dimensions and has the wide point pushed back for quick tight turns.

This 5'8 Lost Bean Bag surfboard is the extreme in small wave surfing. This surfboard is super wide and flat but can be surfed from the tail and rail to rail without sliding out on you. This surfboard is designed to be ridden extremely short.

The Maurice Cole Metro Surfboard combines width and thickness from the old retro fish, but introduces a tow inspired bottom rocker and a very deep concave. More width in the tail creates a larger sweet spot and an accentuated change in curve at the 1 mark loosens the board up. This board replaces all Fish type boards.This design has a foot in both camps. Stability and float while still maintaining the edgy characteristics of speed and rippability. Evidence that you can occasionally teach an old dog new tricks.The Metro is easy to turn and will suit surfers that like a retro feel, but want performance from a board.

This 5'8 Lost Bean Bag surfboard is the extreme in small wave surfing. This surfboard is super wide and flat but can be surfed from the tail and rail to rail without sliding out on you. This surfboard is designed to be ridden extremely short.

Built for precision, tight radius, high speed, spontaneous surfing. The mindset behind this board was “anything not needed, take out”. Low volume rails, vee deck, elliptical outline (No hip or bump in the tail) with narrower nose and tail block combined with an aggressive rail rocker and deep concaves to keep it moving make this the most sensitive and responsive board Learn More

The Round Up is a step up board designed for head high to head low conditions, similar to the Rock Up The low entry rocker, flat deck and tapered rails (with a full forward outline) paddles through crowds and moving water, and catches waves with ease.
